Chapter 1153 : Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Four: Lu Su Under the Sword? (Part 1)
"At this moment, Cao Cao's momentum is at its peak, and all the princes in the world are timid and fearful. [Source of this book www.
"This won't work, that won't work either. So what should we do?" After hearing this, Ma Chao felt more and more that his father was old and had lost his ambition, and he said slightly dissatisfied.
"This." Ma Teng hesitated. He couldn't adopt Ma Chao's two methods, but he really didn't have any strategy.
what to do?[
"Father, you are indeed afraid of Cao Cao too much. Not all princes in the world are afraid of Cao Cao's power." Seeing this, Ma Chao sighed and said.
After a pause, Ma Chao continued: "For example, Sun Ce occupies Jiangdong, with the Yangtze River as a natural barrier to the north. According to his character, he will definitely be able to protect Jiangdong by himself, and even have enough energy to compete with Cao Cao for supremacy."
"Even if this son faces Lu Su, he will be defeated repeatedly. It is really nothing to worry about. If Cao Cao goes south, he may not be able to withstand it."
Ma Teng shook his head and said.
Ma Teng lives in Yongliang, so he has an inadvertent understanding of the strength of Jiangdong. Moreover, Sun Ce has indeed been defeated many times, so it is natural to look down on Sun Ce.
"Since my father has said so, Xinye Lusu, who occupies five counties and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, is enough to become an enemy of Cao Cao. If we use his power to join forces to fight against Cao Cao, we have a good chance of winning."
Ma Chao said with a smile on his face.
The reason why he wanted to tell Sun Ce first was to draw out Lu Su.
"Lu Su is indeed a man of great talent and strategy, but according to Cao Cao's current situation, he can't resist it without great talent and strategy. The so-called talent and strategy are not as good as favorable geographical conditions. Xinye is too close to the Central Plains. As long as Cao Cao sends his troops south, Lu Su can be defeated by taking advantage of the situation.
Su. In my opinion, Lu Su is worse than Sun Ce."
Ma Teng shook his head and said.
Ma Teng doesn't deny that Lu Su is awesome. But among the strong, there are even stronger ones. Facing Cao Cao, who defeated Yuan Shao, Lu Su really has no advantage.
It's not as good as Sun Ce who occupies a good location and is a little bit interesting.
Seeing that Ma Teng couldn't do this or that, he was hesitant and showed his old tricks. Ma Chao felt very angry and stamped his foot fiercely.
Ma Chao said loudly: "The only option is to connect with Han Sui and more than ten princes in Guanzhong to protect ourselves."
Ma Teng was actually quite embarrassed when he saw his energetic eldest son. Of course he knew that as he got older, his ambition was getting timid. But there was really nothing he could do.
I heard Ma Chao's suggestion to connect with Han Sui and more than ten princes in Guanzhong to protect themselves together.
Ma Teng's eyes lit up slightly and he said decisively: "Okay."
Ma Chao sighed even more in his heart. More than ten princes from Guanzhong united together to form a ragtag group of people.
But Ma Chao also knew that he could not persuade his father. Seeing Cao Cao getting stronger and stronger, the Ma family could only cower in Guanzhong.[
What is this?
It seems that now we can only look at powerful princes such as Lu Su and Sun Ce. But Ma Chao has no confidence. In his opinion, the Ma family is quite powerful.
Only if we unite with Lu Su and Sun Ce can we resist Cao Cao. If Lu Su and Sun Ce unite, it will be a bit worse, but we should be able to do so.
But the question is, can Lu Su and Sun Ce form an alliance? Just dream.
If this happens, wouldn't they be defeated by Cao Cao one by one? Sun Ce still has the natural moat of the Yangtze River, but Lu Su is guarding the city alone.
There isn't even a pass.
What if Cao Cao's army is together and Lu Su has no foreign aid?
Just snap your fingers and fly away.
Ma Chao believed in Lu Su's strength, but at the same time he was also sure that without Ma's help, Lu Su would be the next cannon fodder.
